To balance the budget Mayor Franklin said some people must be laid off. Not only that! But a Tax hike as well, What evil alien has snatched her mind! I know the city is suffering because of surprise budget short falls, Do partly to poor budget oversight and her own ineptness. City services cut (ut oh pot hole patrol), I hope those being laid off are a few Dept. Managers & supervisors,  and not just the gruts in the trenches. Cut some administrative fat there too. I smell a coup brewing in the City Council, over the tax hike. Now If Miss Shirley had kept her finger on things instead of in the budget pie when her over bloated programs needed funding we wouldn't been discussing  this issue.  Audits are hell huh Shirley?,  especially  when it catches misappropriations of millions of dollars spent on over blown City contracts, and bad math in the Tax Assessor's office. Pssss! Shirley hope your not planning on running for Governor. Cause after this little brew haha, You won't get elected as a Dog Catcher's assistant. Ah, Shirley I'd hire a food tester also....trippy

Alas, we should not be surprised. Atlanta, like many municipalities are operating in the RED. Yesterday Vallejo, CA declared bankrupcy; cited excessive pay and benefits to the FD & PD as reasons.

As more and more people retire, we will see more and more states and counties facing the same. Cost of services rise, cost of pensions rise and the only solution known to politicians is to raise taxes. Middle class folks are reeling over high gasoline and medical costs and government keeps spending.

Lets go back to 1950's era budget plans and eradicate the entitlement mentality.

I never voted for Shirley Franklin, I knew she was not to be trusted,
she also is for Obama
wonder what HE promised her??
She needs to be held accountable for this mess she has created and her salary needs to be decreased, NOW!!
Think that will happen?
